hydroteknikk
Hydroteknikk, or hydraulic engineering, is a branch of civil engineering focused on planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining systems that use or control water. It encompasses water supply, flood protection, drainage, hydropower, and coastal and offshore works.
Key subfields include hydraulics and hydrology, flood risk management, dam and reservoir engineering, river engineering, coastal
Methods and tools include hydrological data analysis, hydraulic modeling, physical scale models, and computer simulations such
Common applications range from dams, spillways, and levees to hydropower plants, water supply and sewer networks,
Education and profession: graduates typically come from civil or environmental engineering with a hydroteknikk specialization. Practitioners
Global in scope, hydroteknikk is interdisciplinary, drawing on hydrological science, geotechnics, ecology, and energy engineering to
